I'm sorry, my understanding is that white is the only color available. It is a GT3 right? Not a Carrera or a Turbo? Cool then white it is!!!



PS: love the all black look and have it on my S6

I was a speed yellow guy on 2 other P cars, really liked that color. Very nervous about racing yellow as being kind of too close to the yellow VW bug color which I don't care for. Well, have had it a couple of weeks and the yellow is awesome. You do have to be ready for people pointing and taking pictures (really) but it seems to bring out the car's character.



looks pretty cool at night

Thanks for the insight on Yellow - very excited on getting it now and just trying to finalize the aftermarket wheel finishes. I'm getting the stock rims in the standard finish to run for winter and track duty.

The finalists for exterior color are white and agate grey metallic. I removed the others from the thread beginning. I need to make the choice soon as the Nov. build deadline is coming up. I went with the bucket seats, cf interior, door sills, grey belts and platinum stitching. Steel brakes and the platinum satin finish wheels. Black xenon pds lights. The grey really looks very close to seal grey...the image from the Configurator appears considerably darker. While I love red and yellow, I prefer a low key stealth profile for the road. I still have mixed feelings trading in my 6GT3. I suppose I will forget about her when the new one arrives.

I too have struggled with all these decisions. I went with white. I am still a bit on the fence about the carbon fiber trim interior. I don't like the shiny bling of it, but I am worried that the anthracite brushed wont match the bucket seats as well. I am guessing that's your thinking too...

FWIW, I had the GT2 buckets in my 997.2 Carrera S which was Arctic Silver with a Cocoa interior. The CF on the seatbacks was the only CF in the interior and it looked great. Very subjective, of course, but I don't think you necessarily need CF trim to look good with the CF on the buckets. Anthracite would go well with other elements in the interior. Either choice would be fine, IMHO.

With those two colors I'd get white.

Think seal grey like my 996. ..the image from the config is too dark. Maybe you feel the same about seal grey ? There are so many white GT3's, not that it really matters. I suppose if I ever wanted racing stripes, white would be the car.

Thanks for your input frayed.

I quite easily got it to a choice between two colours but couldn't decide.

Then thought how I'd feel on first seeing it and with one of those I'd think 1% whether I'd have preferred the other. With GT Silver I know I won't be thinking about the other so decision made :-). Hope it helps.

I think Dude's comments in the other thread about the subdued by menacing look of Agate (black too) is accurate. White will 'pop' more.

But there's no wrong decision here. The width, ride height, wheels, wing, fr/rr bumpers = presence. Even standing still engine off.
